Considered Both Products	Amaxus CMS (discontinued) Laura Bruss Senior Production Coordinator Chose Amaxus CMS (discontinued) I have used an in-house CMS which was very simple and only allowed the user to update very basic templated content, and I have used Sitecore, which is sort of like a middle-of-the-road.

User Testimonials
	Amaxus CMS (discontinued)
Likelihood to Recommend	Discontinued Products Amaxus is well suited as a development platform and content management system for companies who have a dedicated, experienced development team because it has such complex functionality. It is not well suited for companies whose main content updater will be a person with limited development experience, because it is so hard to learn and understand how to use.

Pros	Discontinued Products There is a lot of flexibility and power with what you can do. The client has a lot of power to make changes on their own without needing a development team. Incentivized Laura Bruss Senior Production Coordinator Read full review
Cons	Discontinued Products There is a huge learning curve for developers. All our new website builds were going beyond the timeline because of the learning curve. It is very complex and teaching our clients how to use it required several training sessions. Incentivized Laura Bruss Senior Production Coordinator Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Discontinued Products I have used an in-house CMS which was very simple and only allowed the user to update very basic templated content, and I have used Sitecore, which is sort of like a middle-of-the-road. Sitecore is great because it allows for the user to have a lot of control over templates and updating content, but it's not so complex that it is very difficult and time-consuming to learn how to use, like Amaxus.

Return on Investment	Discontinued Products It has a negative impact because it put us back on our timelines. It had a negative impact because our customers didn't like the learning curve to use it. It had a negative impact because it caused so much stress among our team to learn it. Incentivized Laura Bruss Senior Production Coordinator Read full review
